This is how to do a fun and modern makeup look. It is great for experimenting with makeup, and to look great for going out!

Steps

1

Even out your skin tone, and cover any blemishes or redness with foundation spread throughout your face, or simply by applying concealer. Set with powder, to make the makeup last and reduce oil.

For a more "modern" look play with colors. You can do as many as you wish, just make sure you blend to make it look more professional. I recommend beginning with brighter colors toward the inner part of your eye (closer to tear duct) and spread to darker colors on the outer part of your eye. Say you're doing blues. Start with a close to white color and take your eyeshadow brush and start around the inner corners of your eye. This brightens your whole eye look. You may use a shimmer color as well. Then, take a bright blue color and sweep it across the middle part of your eyelid. Make sure you blend between this color and your first one. Next, take a more intense blue or darker blue, and dab it on the outer part of your eyelid. Make sure you don't put too much at first, you can always add more later. To blend this outer color, or for a more "smoky" look, use your eyeshadow brush and rub it on your eye in a circular motion. Then, blend this dark color with your middle color. Finally, take your brush and put a white, or shimmer color again, and add it under your browbone for some highlight. This way, your eyes don't look to heavy and dark.

If you prefer to use an eyeliner pencil, do so. Sweep across the top lid and the bottom if you like. But for a modern look, liquid liner is best. Start at the inner part of your eye, and in one motion sweep across your lid. Then, you may add a "wing" at the end of your eye for a different look.

For an intense look, use falsies! If not, use your favorite mascara and apply evenly on your lashes. To make them bigger, add a coat and let it dry, then add more. Apply to bottom lashes if you'd like.

5

Stop here if you'd like, but you always have the option to add more. You may add some blush to your cheeks, or highlight your face. Take a shimmer color but with a blush or a face brush, and sweep across the top of your cheeks, the bridge of your nose, forehead, and chin. Not too much though, you only want to see the shimmer in the light or outside in the sun. It's a nice finishing touch. Play with lip colors as well :) I recommend colored lip gloss over lipstick.

Have fun! Experiment with your colors and techniques and whether you'd like to intensify things or not.
